    Description

    Authentic  19th century clipper ship card.
    SUSAN FEARING
    Card measures 116 x 180 mm.
    The image is identical to the Fanny S. Perley card which was used as the cover illustration on the catalog for the Siegel sale in 1990.
    The scene shows a ship loading her cargo at a New York dock with  7 horse carts loading  merchandise. The name of the ship, printed on the foresail, has been changed to Susan Fearing. The commander has changed from York to H. Newcomb, and the agent is now Randolph M. Cooley rather than Babcock, Cooley & Co.
    According to “Yankee Ship Sailing Cards” vol. III, the Susan Fearing was built in 1861 in East Boston by Paul Curtis. The card boasts that “she is one of Paul Curtis’ best, and only one year old” which dates the card in 1862. Light oxidation on right margin, old glue marks on back. The Fanny S. Perley card sold for 00 at the Siegel sale in 1990.  Similar cards have recently auctioned for upward of ,000.
    Condition is poor/fair.  A few minor edge and corner losses, and the card has been mounted on a piece of wood, and varnished.  The varished has browned.
